The King owns the deer, and by tradition gives one deer carcass to each of the MPs with a constituency adjacent to the park when they do the annual cull.
I used to know one of the game keepers there – the venison is extremely good.
Damn it. I spent a while there this morning and didn’t see any of these guys
Potentially a dumb question, but can’t some portion of these deer be neutered instead of having to shoot them?
“Look at my fancy hat ladies”
Looks like the first guy is prepared for the cull by camouflaging
Gorgeous
I’ve never heard of this before. Of course it feels sad, but I know it’s ecologically-oriented.
My question is, I love deer spotting. How significant is this cull? Can one still go and see stags after the cull, or are they essentially gone? And how often do they cull? (Yearly, semi yearly, etc?) would love more info!
Is this next to Brookfield Hill car park? I think I saw you photographing around 10am this morning, your pics are certainly better than the ones I took on my phone!

A little too apropos 🙁
They are preparing to cull humans
